I'm missing an option for export: There are two options for "Output": 1. "One big file" 2. "Directory - one file per object..." Between those two options I'm missing "One file per database". Would this be possible? |

No, that's already what "Directory - one file per object in database subdirectories" is for. I think more options will just create more confusion here. |

Does it mean that nobody wants just "one file per database" as an export option? |

That's not what I said. I'm just sure there should be some overviewable set of output options. |

OK, for me it would be very overviewable to have those options: 1. "One big file" 2. "One file per database" 3. "Directory - one file per object..." ... But of course it's your script. BTW: Thanks a lot for your script. I'm using it since many years from the beginning on (MySQL-Front). |

I'm asking myself, why there is an option to EXPORT each table in one file, but no way to IMPORT multiple files at once? I have 6 DBs with around 200 tables - a big mess if I try to import them one by one... :( |

You can load multiple files into one file per query tab. To be honest, I never understood the need of having an output option for one file per table - implemented as requested long time ago and now I'm scratching my head why I did that. |

I think so too (as `anse`). Tables in database often have reletions and saving table per file is meaningless. By the way where I can upload sql-file in this forum? |

Nowhere You can paste code here wrapped in a code block (blue button).

Sometimes I use "one file per table" but not often. Like the OP I would prefer "one file per database" option, which would be very useful for multiple db backups. Currently I can only backup to a single file, which can be very messy, I prefer to keep databases separated. |
